"Tokyo being such a big commuter city (always walking around), which is much different than LA (always in a car). My biggest essential is actually bags... I typically carry around a small bag tote bag for the start of the day that has other bags inside that I will use as the day goes on. By the end of a good day I have like 2-3 bags full of tons of shit. I look like a bag lady... c'est la vie!"
